Really cool idea! I thought the puzzles were well designed, I had to think for a while on the last one. It also looks very polish, I like the squishy feel of everything

This is really great! love the idea its well polished and fun to play
This was one of my favorite games so far! It's extremely polished, and a complete concept that's the perfect scope for a jam game. You've accomplished with flying colors not only making a good game, but making a good jam game, which is a skill unto itself. Bravo!
I like the idea and the artstyle, I wish when the player moves to the border with no arrow, it would still move off the maze and be able to come around.
The game is beautiful but sometimes it’s hard to understand the level configuration and how to player will move.
Nice game, I found it through your video. The puzzles were on the difficult side, but I did manage to complete the game. Sometimes I wished that I could pause the movement of the guy, but then I would control him which goes against the theme. Changing the colour of the arrows to indicate which are locked would be nice. Also, the dead ends could be a bit more clear that they are dead ends.
a very cool puzzle game! I had a lot of fun with it and the game is just very aestheically pleasing! great job :D
Pretty fun game. It can be a little bit annoying when you don't know if you need to reset the puzzle or not, but I don't really know how you could prevent this aspect of the game from happening. But overall, it was fun to play! Give my game a try too :)
interesting idea and nice graphics!
just one thing: idk if it was stated somewhere and I missed it, but it wasn't immediately obvious that you can move the pieces all the way around and make them come back from the other side
I really enjoyed playing this game. The controls remind me of those picture block sliding puzzles from my childhood, but dynamic in an interesting way. As the explorer moves around you can make some quick moves to open up new passageways.
Some of these levels are more puzzling than you'd think. Every now and then I'd end up at a dead end, with my move either being trapped by a lock block or the explorer. Sometimes that could be a little frustrating. But hey, when you play this game, they're in control - not you. If they want to stare at a wall for the rest of their life and not turn around, they're going to. It was satisfying to arrive at a solution. I think you nailed the "Out of Control" theme.
Final thoughts - I really liked the sound effects and level-shuffling effect when you reach the goal. Nicely done.
Extremely original and challenging puzzle game with a great art style and palette, the game really makes you use your brain, only minor issue is the limited number of levels which of course is expected with a game jam so gets my 5 stars!
This is a very good puzzle game. You should work some more on it and release it for mobile. Would love to play it on my phone. Well done!
